Masters and O'Neill included by Cork
by Michelle Fortune, 22 August 2008
James Masters and Pearse O'Neill have retained their places in Conor Counihan's starting XV for the All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry on Sunday.
O'Neill will start in place of skipper Graham Canty, who was injured in the Munster final win over the reigning All-Ireland champions.
Canty had hoped to make the line-up for Sunday's clash, but the Bantry Blues man is not as fit as he should be.
Masters, meanwhile, has been called up in place of Nicholas Murphy, who has been struggling with a hamstring injury.
O'Neill and Masters both started the quarter-final win over Kildare after Canty and Murphy failed to recover from the respective injuries. O'Neill notched up two points with Masters scoring once.
Elsewhere, Michael Cussen will start up front alongside Daniel Goulding and John Hayes.
Cork (SFC v Kerry): A Quirke; D Duggan, D Kavanagh, A Lynch; B O'Regan, G Spillane, K O'Connor; A O'Connor, P O'Neill; D O'Connor, J Masters, S O'Brien; D Goulding, M Cussen, J Hayes.
